The nice wet snow we received Friday was most welcome, although it did hamper travel to ball games, funerals and late Christmas celebrations in the area. The fog all day Sunday was hard to deal with when driving, but at least the highways were clear.

Our communities would like to extend their condolences to Freda Schmidt and family on the loss of her sister this past week. Several family members hope to fly to Washington for the services.
